Topband: Question about on ground radials field.

[Jim Clymer]

Hello Gang,
This is somewhat related to the "Will radials on ground help?" thread. I
have poked around in various discussion groups but haven't found a specific
answer.
Assuming I have a fairly decent radial system on the ground (60 radials of
various lengths, some longer than 1/4 wave, many shorter), what happens if
I elevate the feedpoint of a quarter-wave, base-fed vertical? Let's say I
have an aluminum mounting post properly bonded to the radial plate, the top
of which will serve as the "radial system" connection for the vertical. Is
there some fractional part of a wavelength that the feedpoint could be
raised and not lose the effectiveness of the on ground radial system?
Thanks, and HNY to all!
